Are you an experienced Embedded Software Engineer ready to take the next step into technical leadership?

We're looking for an Electronics Software Team Leader to lead a small team of 3-4 software engineers, whilst remaining 60% hands-on with software development and technical delivery.

You'll work on complex, high-reliability electronic systems where software performance and reliability are critical.

* Remain hands-on with C/C++ development
* Develop real-time software using Linux and/or VxWorks
* Contribute to software architecture and technical decisions
* Take ownership from requirements through to testing, validation and release

We're looking for:
